As Adam wrote on his blog, Wordabble is now in review on Apple’s App Store.

Once the application is available, I’ll be contacting lots of people in attempts to get reviews and (hopefully) positive talk about the application going around. If you have an iPhone or an iPod touch, I hope you’re excited to play!

I found this great tool to download an entire picasaweb album except it didn’t work in OS X. After a quick search on a couple of man pages I found the difference when using OS X’s mktemp and fixed things. Now I can easily grab my favorite albums from friends and family and load them into iPhoto. What a huge time-saver!
